Among the 144 species of Stratiomyidae recorded in Europe, a bibliographic synthesis allows us to list 89 species in France (mainland and Corsica). A european key to genera is provided (in French and English) for which 52 unpublished drawings have been produced by the first author. Twelve species belonging to monospecific genera can thus be identified. For the determination of the other species, indications on the most relevant literature are given.
